As almost same as season 3, scene in which Natsume returns names from Yokai doesn't show up. I think that's fine because the important thing which Natsume Yujincho wants to show is the relationship between humanbeings and Yokai, which are derived from old gods or deities. Not god in christianity or mosrim. The Japanese used to feel deities in their dayly life and thought all things aroud them had ...

I think that's fine because the important thing which Natsume Yujincho wants to show is the relationship between humanbeings and Yokai, which are derived from old gods or deities. Not god in christianity or mosrim. The Japanese used to feel deities in their dayly life and thought all things aroud them had souls and made up deities. But they forgot them as the nation got industrialized and people moved to cities. This Natsume Yujin-cho wants to remind the Japanese of their old style of life where they used to live.

Set in a rich world of myth, a story that shows how the ties of friendship and compassion can overcome adversity. Frankly one of the best anime currently being produced! Themes of friendship and the desire to protect the people we love are classic anime fodder, but Natsume mostly refrains from the fighting genre clash of titans stuff and instead shows how an otherwise normal boy might do ...

Themes of friendship and the desire to protect the people we love are classic anime fodder, but Natsume mostly refrains from the fighting genre clash of titans stuff and instead shows how an otherwise normal boy might do extraordinary things.

Have been a fan of this anime since the very first episode, the animation is absolutley beautiful and the story and characters are enchanting, it just keeps me coming back for more. I hope that there are many more episodes and seasons to come from this beautlful masterpice. I always do love anime about humans and yokai but this is one of the best.

This anime is so amazing on so many levels. All the characters are well developed, and unique. None of the characters will remind you of someone else from a different anime, and nothing really reminds you of other anime, except there being youkai in it and it's an anime. This is a COMPLETELY original piece of art, and you don't see this in most other anime, which copy other ideas and change just a ...

This anime is so amazing on so many levels. All the characters are well developed, and unique. None of the characters will remind you of someone else from a different anime, and nothing really reminds you of other anime, except there being youkai in it and it's an anime. This is a COMPLETELY original piece of art, and you don't see this in most other anime, which copy other ideas and change just a few things. The music is amazing. I find myself humming the songs in school every now and then, and it's beautiful. I've been hooked on this anime since season one. Natsume reminds me of myself in so many ways, even the things about being able to see things that other people don't.
Now this next thing will make me sound like a fangirl, but the yaoi-like moments are adorable. Natsume is completely shippable with Tanuma (i think I spelled it wrong but oh well) and that other Blonde exorcist guy, or even the black haired exorcist. Each of those pairings are possible. The animation is also really good, this anime doesn't have weird unnatural colors, and kind of looks like water-color. I like that kind of feel to it. And the animation isn't jumpy either, like some anime. And it doesn't use the same camera view 24/7 or the same exact scene, and has many plot twists. The characters all act like real beings would act, not "OH I JUST GOT A SUDDEN INHUMAN BURST OF BRAVERY!!!!!!11!!!1!!one!" or "OH I'M SUDDENLY ALL BALSDHJS". And there aren't any mary-sues either, where they can't ever do anything for themselves and are all like "I'M PERFECT IN EVERY WAY". I send all the praise you could possibly give to the creator of this anime. Wait, it's so awesome I can't even call it anime, I'll call it "REAL LIFE MIRACLE DRAMA IN CARTOON FORM."I definitely recommend this anime, just in case you haven't noticed.

Natsume Yujin-cho Shi (NYCS) is a wonderful conclusion to the NYC anime series which include NYC, Zoku NYC, and NYC-san. Each season stand alone as funny, heartwarming, great animes, but together they're dang near brillant. If you've not started with season 1 episode 1 I suggest you do so. NYC seemingly moves slow causing us to be voyeurs in on the life of a HS student Takashi Natsume. In this ...

Natsume Yujin-cho Shi (NYCS) is a wonderful conclusion to the NYC anime series which include NYC, Zoku NYC, and NYC-san. Each season stand alone as funny, heartwarming, great animes, but together they're dang near brillant. If you've not started with season 1 episode 1 I suggest you do so. NYC seemingly moves slow causing us to be voyeurs in on the life of a HS student Takashi Natsume. In this installment as with the others Natsume struggles to come to grips with his abilities, his past, and his present. We saw him struggle more about his past and with the loss of his parents than in previous seasons. The relationship between Natsume and Nyanko-sensei is marvelous and even stronger. Speaking of strength, Natsume becomes stronger and more self assured. A 5th season has not been announced and it truly saddens me; however, I am good with hos NYCS ends the anime series. It's hopeful and we voyeurs know Natsume will alright.

This was the most wonderful, amazing, spectacular anime ever. I cannot even begin to describe how heart warming and adorable Natsume and Nyanko sensei makes of the anime. The storyline overall induces you to keep watching, you won't be able to stop after you've started the series! The music is overall wonderful, but I prefer season's three more (just a personal preference of music I ...

This was the most wonderful, amazing, spectacular anime ever. I cannot even begin to describe how heart warming and adorable Natsume and Nyanko sensei makes of the anime. The storyline overall induces you to keep watching, you won't be able to stop after you've started the series! The music is overall wonderful, but I prefer season's three more (just a personal preference of music I suppose). Characters, enough said. They're all adorable, but of course with the exception of certain youkai's (they can get...ugly in appearance -- so not cute )': ). Animation wise, awesome!! Fantastic graphics and movements. Perfect. (:
And on a side note, Natsume Yuujinchou brought out a very good point in life. The story is trying to communicate to all of us that no one's perfect. Everyone is different in their own way, and that means there's really no point in judging poorly of others. You can choose to befriend people, and support them along the way, or you can choose to stay as strangers without physically and mentally hurting them. And that, no matter how much society may deny your existence, there will always be someone out there who will accept you and love you for who you are.

Natsume Yujin-cho has to be one of the best shounen animes out there. The artwork is very well done and unique. There are a variety of character designs that you won't find in any other anime. The characters are also well done. They all have their distinct personalities. The different relationships Natsume has with both the youkai and humans are interesting and heart-warming.

Natsume Yujin-cho has to be one of the best shounen animes out there. The artwork is very well done and unique. There are a variety of character designs that you won't find in any other anime. The characters are also well done. They all have their distinct personalities. The different relationships Natsume has with both the youkai and humans are interesting and heart-warming. Natsume is a wonderful male lead for an anime. He can be a bit of a pushover but his sweetness is definitely one of the things that make people fall in love with him. You can't forget the awesome Nyanko-sensei. He adds a lot of humor to the anime and is very entertaining. The other characters Natsume associates with add to the wonderfulness that is Natsume Yujin-cho. The background stories for the different characters and the settings are dazzling and amazing. There tends to be a lot of romance going on but not with Natsume exactly. There's also action and magic fights that are astonishing to watch. Natsumi Yujin-cho is definitely a good anime. I recommend all fellow anime lovers to give a good. I can nearly guarantee that this anime will touch your soul and worm its way into your heart.

I cannot say better that which has been well-worded and well-said by the previous reviewers; these are testament to all parties involved who've created the story-line and the animation work, all of which has been consistently fresh while continuously engaging. I'd say that when this series finds itself at the actual and final end of its story, we will miss it but as Natsume has respected and ...

I cannot say better that which has been well-worded and well-said by the previous reviewers; these are testament to all parties involved who've created the story-line and the animation work, all of which has been consistently fresh while continuously engaging. I'd say that when this series finds itself at the actual and final end of its story, we will miss it but as Natsume has respected and released the named friends of the book, we, too, will find ourselves in his position, the parting gift as it were. Thank you.

I have to start with the final episode: the best episode between the first four series. Period. It delivers a powerful emotional punch to one's soul, and exceptionally explains why Natsume is one of the most unique anime characters out there. Backed up by top class writing, Natsume's fourth installment focuses more on his childhood memories and how much he had to endure before finding a real ...

I have to start with the final episode: the best episode between the first four series. Period. It delivers a powerful emotional punch to one's soul, and exceptionally explains why Natsume is one of the most unique anime characters out there. Backed up by top class writing, Natsume's fourth installment focuses more on his childhood memories and how much he had to endure before finding a real family. The cast of characters was mainly the same as the other previous shows, however, some received more character development. Sensei, like always, hilarious. I have to say this show does an outstanding job of conveying the different emotional rides that Natsume had to overcome, but at the same time it gives them the message that states just how pure Takashi Natsume really is. The manga keeps going, hopefully more of this masterful show is on the horizon. Some anime shows should really pay attention to this one and learn a few things. Best of the first four. installment

When I finished Natsume Yujin-cho, I though to myself "Nothing could be better". And then I started Natsume Yujin-cho Shi and realized I was wrong, because Natsume Yujin-cho Shi was amazing, amazing, amazing.
It's so easy to get caught up in the gentle nature of Natsume Yujin-cho. It is adorable, endearing, and heart-breaking all at the same time.

Takashi Natsume has been able to see youkai, Japanese monsters, his whole life. He inherited a book of youkai names from his grandmother, Reiko. These names give their owner power over the youkai, so he and his self-proclaimed bodyguard "Nyanko-sensei" spend their days returning them to their original owners. As Natsume finally finds a place where he feels welcome, he meets and says goodbye to new Youkai.... ...more
